I know I’m not the only one who is wondering why this movie even exists as Gladiator did not require a sequel and yet after this trailer I am now VERY curious about it.
Plot: Several decades after the events of Gladiator (2000), Lucius—the grandson of Rome’s former emperor Marcus Aurelius and son of Lucilla—lives with his wife and child in Numidia. Roman soldiers led by general Marcus Acacius invade, forcing Lucius into slavery. Inspired by the story of Maximus,[a] Lucius resolves to fight as a gladiator while opposing the rule of the young emperors Caracalla and Geta.
